Lashuntas are a species of humanoids native to the planet Castrovel in the Pact Worlds system. They are psychics with a unique, self-determined pair of subspecies, and are a prominent race in the Pact Worlds government.

History

On their home planet of Castrovel, the lashunta were at war for thousands of years with another native species, the formians. This conflict did not come to an end until 287 AG, when shirren diplomats brokered a peace treaty. This event is believed to have been necessary for the foundation of the Pact World government in the system in 291 AG.

Appearance

Castrovel is a world with many predators, and all lashunta evolve at puberty into one of two paths in order to help their people survive: the lithe, clever damaya and gregarious, muscular korasha. Damaya are taller than the stockier korasha. All lashuntas share some common traits, however, including two forehead antennae that serve as telepathic foci, colorful pigmentation patterns, raised facial markings, and nearly perfect physical symmetry. Between their pleasingly ordered forms and natural pheromones, many other humanoid races find lashunta at least subconsciously attractive.

Abilities

All lashuntas have natural psychic abilities, starting with natural telepathy and mental powers that often resemble magical spells. They are also known to be voracious learners regardless of subspecies, whether through academics or trained skills. Damaya lashuntas have an innate intellectual advantage and calmer demeanor, while korasha lashuntas have stronger and hardier bodies on average at the cost of being more boisterous and less observant.
